The Order of the Bath, 1937: A Glimpse into the Regal Pageantry of King George VI's Coronation This black-and-white photograph print, created in 1937, showcases a group of men clad in the traditional attire of The Order of the Bath. This prestigious British order of chivalry, established in 1725 by King George I, is one of the most ancient and senior orders in the United Kingdom. The Order of the Bath is awarded to individuals in recognition of their services to the Crown and the country. The men in this image, standing in a semi-circle, wear the full regalia of the Order. They don the iconic blue mantle, edged with white ermine fur, and the Tudor rose badge on their left shoulders. The mantle is draped over their right arms, and the collar of the order, adorned with white enameled roses, thistles, and fleurs-de-lis, rests around their necks. The men's formal attire, consisting of tailcoats, white waistcoats, and top hats, adds to the grandeur of the scene. This photograph is a striking reminder of the rich history and tradition that surrounded King George VI's coronation in 1937. The Order of the Bath, with its long-standing history and elegant attire, continues to be a symbol of British pageantry and the recognition of exceptional service. This print, from the collection "The Coronation of H.M. King George VI and H.M. Queen Elizabeth 1937" by John Player & Sons, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a unique perspective on the formalities and traditions of a bygone era.
